The “School to Prison Pipeline” Poverty & Race POVERTY & RACE RESEARCH ACTION COUNCIL PRRAC July/August 2005 Volume 14: Number 4 The “School to Prison Pipeline” The growing awareness of disproportionate rates of incarceration among young African-American men—and the severe consequences of even short-term incarceration for education, employment, housing and access to opportunity—have prompted a new search for answers and solutions among civil rights and anti-poverty organizations. This inquiry began (and continues today) with a range of research and advocacy to address the racial bias inherent in the criminal justice system—in the interaction of racial profiling, jury bias, inadequate and unequal indigent defense systems, and racially skewed sentencing laws. More recently, the focus has turned to the causes of racialized outcomes operating within juvenile justice systems. In this issue of Poverty & Race, we profile a new generation of research and advocacy that looks at how schools and other government-based systems operate to increase the likelihood that children of color will eventually become involved with the juvenile justice system, often with lifelong harmful consequences. We have asked experts from four organizations that are doing complementary work in this area to share their insights and approaches: Daniel Losen from the Harvard Civil Rights Project discusses the important scholarly work the Project has sponsored, particularly on the issue of disproportion- ate drop-out rates, and its implication for advocates; Michael Wenger of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies profiles the work of the Dellums Commission, which, like the Children’s Defense Fund, is looking for answers not just in schools, but in all of the systems that affect children and their families; Judith Browne and Monique Dixon from the Advancement Project describe their work in aggressively confronting the role played by school discipline policies in contrib- uting to disparate rates of minority incarceration; and Morna Murray from the Children’s Defense Fund summarizes the key conclusions of CDF’s new “Cradle to Prison Pipeline” project. We expect that many of these mechanisms will turn out to have a geographic component: There are few systems more effective than residential segregation in permitting structural inequality of this kind to thrive— but at the same time, we know that many of the racially disparate outcomes will be not be easily explained by place. The structural roots of inequality can follow lower-income children even into high-opportunity settings, and these reports suggest that we must continue to be vigilant in our efforts to keep the next generation of at-risk children out of jail, and out of our juvenile justice systems.

On that day, stating that he would "not seek the nomination for the Democratic Party," 1 Jesse Jack- son backed out of the presidential campaign spotlight and started a chain reaction that has put the black vote in perhaps its least influential position since before 1984. Extremely low black voter turnout was one of the most significant trends of the 1992 primaries. In the Democratic contests, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton won an impressive percentage of black votes, about 70 4 percent.

  • The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women's Athletics
    “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 By Amira Rose Davis A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2016 © 2016 Amira Rose Davis All Rights Reserved Abstract “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 analyzes the ideological and institutional development of amateur and professional sports for black women in the United States before the passage of Title IX and during the Age of Jim Crow. It locates black women’s athletic history between silence and symbol, forgetting and remembrance. In considering the development of black women’s athletics and the symbolic black woman athlete, this project moves to reexamine our understanding of black women’s movement and mobility by considering the work that black women’s athletic bodies did for institution-building and international, national, and local statecraft. By focusing on black women in motion, this dissertation uses middle-class black institutions – like colleges and sports teams – to write a new history of black women’s labor. By tracing the long history of black women’s athletic participation, this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which gendered power dynamics, particularly intra-racial ones, mediated black Americans’ engagement with athletics and physical culture. While highlighting women who used athletics to gain social mobility or assert new notions of modern and respectable black womanhood, this project also examines black institutions, sporting organizations and state apparatuses that routinely used black women’s athletic bodies to advance their respective social, political and financial interests.
